Hey,

I have an ART Tube PAC preamp/compressor and am trying to get the right sound out of it. occasionally, I'll get it sounding good....but I honestly don't know what everything does on it.

The front panel basically contains the following buttons and knobs:
Gain
+20db
Threshold (compression)
Slope, Feed and Phase buttons
Output level

I keep trying different combinations of things but does anyone have any tips for getting a warm, boosted (but not distorted) sound (particularly with vocals). I'm getting close, but I always have to have the compressor all the way to the left in order to not clip. Either that or the signal is weak.

Thanks for any tips!
Michael
